The Norks towed it from the east coast to the west coast back in the 1990s. President Clinton's administration refused to intercept it while it was off the South Korean coast. It continues to be the Nork's premier propaganda piece.

First I'd heard that, it's sort of surprising I missed the move. But I did look it up and you are of course correct.

How humiliating, but then just having the SinkMeister as President was pretty humiliating in itself.

What we should have done was take it back with a SEAL team, with frigates or destroyers in support, plus overhead USAF assets from South Korean or Japan, assuming we didn't have a carrier nearby at the time.
